Glad you like it, that was what I was going for. I took WoF's templets stuck them together and then cut them back apart so it would be similar but different.

Hey thats a pretty nice design man! I like that alot, looking forward to more progress.

Should have some more pictures up either tomorrow or tuesday.

---------------------------------------------

I got a girth belt already but I forgot to post pictures, I will do that when I post the rest of the stuff up. I also finished most of my hand armor today I will post some pictures of that stuff as soon as I get some gloves to mount them on.

I found some intresting stuff at Wal-Mart today. I think I am going to go back and get some to make my flack vest. It was in the kitchen section of all places.

I need another trash can before I can do the arm's, back and legs. That is going to have to wait tell pay-day.

Also, one quick question any one ever try making gauntlets/upper arm armor out of plastic cups? I was going to give it a go. Thought I might as well ask how well it works first. I may try it any way but just wonderd.

I don't know if I will ever use that but I will keep that in mind to try.

Well I started mocking out my helmet last night. I am doing the work in cardboard becase I have an unlimited supply from work. For the base I found this cool bike helmet that had the shape I was looking for. I have started filling most of the holes in the head, I have several more but I am going to let them be for now. I am going for a helmet similar to one of the ones seen in shatter point. I havn't decided if I am going to just fiber glass some card board or use sentra but I will diecide that later.

I pulled apart an old bike helmet at the beginning of the summer, and then wound up keeping everything, wondering if I might ever be able to use the helmet itself. Your image gave me an idea, so thanks. When I saw the helmet in the top photo while reading your post, I wondered how exactly you'd use it. Seeing the bottom image really impressed me. I really like the looks of things. Wish I could see the front! Am I seeing the visor correctly? Looks like a pretty wide opening--reminds me of the work tb1184 is doing on his Deathwatch helmet. How much custom designing is going into your bucket?

Custom wise I am going to guess about half of it will be custom on the initial verson. If I ever get one cast then I am going to add hoses to the front as well. The visor is the same as the normal mando right now. I only have a small square cut in it right now so that I can look out the helmet when I have it on. I plan on working on it some more tonight if I finish this big school paper I have that I need to do .

I think I found my small side arm that is going to go in a holster on my lower leg. (In a holster similar to the one on the bikerscouts.) I found it at the local $1 junk store. What do you all think, does it look Star Wars enough or is it to far out there?

Well while cleaning out my room I found something that I had forgotten about. A custom blaster rifle I built for a contest early this spring. Its a little over a yard long and heavy as all get out but cool none the less. I think I am going to use that for my main side arm, at least tell I can get a rocket launcher built.

Where did you find this? This is a jewel of a blaster pistol. I really like it.
